hi folks,

I want to select all files older than 13 days from a specified directory
for that i used

find /home/amar -name '*.*' -mtime 13

but it gives me all the files from subdirectories also, I dont want that

I want files only from /home/amar and not from /home/amar/abc/..

which option is suitable here -depth,-mindepth,-prune ?
how to use it ???

2

thanx Hitori,

but i am having problem that in the statement how to use it ??

find /home/amar -maxdepth 1 -name '*.*' -mtime 13

find /home/amar -name '*.*' -mtime 13 -maxdepth 1

find -maxdepth 1 /home/amar -name '*.*' -mtime 13

are not working

May be you forget to add '+' to the -mtime's argument option.
this works fine for me (with another directory :)):

$ find /home/amar -maxdepth 1 -name '*.*' -mtime +13

It says find: bad option -maxdepth

Then you out of luck. What version of find do you use?
